SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR APPLYING SERIES LEVEL OPERATIONS AND COMPARING IMAGES USING A THUMBNAIL NAVIGATOR

摘要

An example image layout and display navigator system includes a navigator that includes a miniature layout representation corresponding to the layout of images on the display. The navigator is to appear on the display based on user action with respect to displayed content and to allow a user to select an image series via the miniature layout and to select one or more series level operations for application to the image series via the miniature layout. The navigator is to apply a selected series level operation to the image series via the miniature layout based on user input. An action in one of the navigator and the display is to translate into a corresponding action on the other of the navigator and the display. The content display manager is to update the content displayed to reflect the selected series level operation applied to the image series.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
displaying a navigator interface in conjunction with a layout of images shown via a display, the navigator interface triggered to appear based on detection of a user action with respect to the display, the navigator interface including an overlay displayed over at least a portion of the layout of images and providing, via the overlay, a miniature layout representation corresponding to the layout of images on the display; accepting user selection of a first image from a plurality of images shown in the layout of images via the navigator's miniature layout; providing one or more image operations for application to the selected first image via the miniature layout, the one or more image operations configured to, when applied, modify the display of the selected first image in the layout of images on the display; providing, based on selection of a first image operation from the one or more image operations, (i) a preview of application of the first image operation to the selected first image via the miniature layout before the selected first image operation is applied to the selected first image and (ii) a visual indication of operation status such that a) when the selected first image operation is not precluded for the selected first image, the visual indication shows the selected first image operation to be applied to the selected first image and b) when the selected first image operation is precluded for the selected first image, the visual indication shows an error message indicating a condition that precludes application of the selected first image operation to the selected first image; and if the selected first image operation is not precluded, applying the selected first image operation to the selected first image to the layout of images.
